newmewanted reacted to Lemondrop33 in I'm finally sleeved!
I was sleeved yesterday around 2 or 3 pm. My surgery was delayed due to an emergency My surgeon got called to do. I was pretty calm the whole time. My hospital offered aroma therapy and they had very soft music playing in the background so that helped calming my nerves. Woke up from surgery in a lot of pain, and excruciating pain in my chest from the gas. Was given pain meds and As soon as I was in my room I did some walking and that helped so much. I slept pretty well on my back. Today in the morning I woke up with minimal gas pain and very little incision pain. What is most annoying is the nausea and occasional headaches. Meds can take care of that. So for those of you worried about the pain levels, there's really not much that can't be taken away with pain meds. Walking is extremely important for the gas. I was given some broth, Jello, tea, Italian ice and Water for dinner. The broth tasted like food for the gods and so did the ice but I couldn't eat not even half of both. Slow sips are the trick. Now I'm in bed typing this and so happy that I found this site with so many wonderful people and inspirational stories and great advice. I thank you all. I gained four pounds since surgery after losing six on my 7 day preop diet. I'm not stressed though cause I know it's all the IV Fluid. Anyway, you all take care. It feels pretty awesome finally being on the losers bench! XO to all!

Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow! 2 more weeks and then I'll be sleeved. My sister had hers done last week and her recovery has been going very well! Keeping my fingers crossed that mine is the same.

newmewanted reacted to unbesleevable1 in Help! Vegeterian in full liquid pre op diet... Recipes please :)
So you want to liquify fish? Im confused. Full liquids usually doesn't include meats or anything solid or pureed. Full liquid includes milk, sugar free pudding, sf custard, sf Jello, vegetable juices, Protein Shakes, broth, strained Soups, cream of wheat (very thin) etc.

Hey Volley girl! . I start the pre-op liquid diet on 11/4. I can have Protein Shakes, limited Tomato Soup and oatmeal during this time also so I don't think it will be too bad! I'm in Iowa, 5'9. - 310 with a 160 goal. Only lost 7lbs so far on my own, but hoping the liquid phase will kick start a loss! Lord I hope this works for me!!

Hello to all the new November sleevers and welcome!!! I'm also a November sleever surgery date was November 30,2012. This was by far the best thing to happen to me!!! I'm 11 months out and down 97 lbs and lost 15 inches off my waist alone!! Some days will be hard and there will be times when you have buyers remorse, but believe me it will pass when you see the weight melting off. Just wanted to wish you all good luck on your upcoming surgeries!!
Top pic is day after surgery, bottom pic is what I look like now. Pre-op 258.8 CW 161.4
